Adventures of an Underwater Photographer

Details: Phil was really keen to dive Cathedral Rock, and conditions were looking reasonable. As always for this area of the coast the swell was still up a bit and it made conditions a little uncomfortable. Phil saw a weedy seadragon on this dive..a rare sight down these parts of the coast.

Details: I’ve been busting to try out some new sites along the Great Ocean road, so after wandering down along the coast, i decided on Cathedral Rock which ticked all the right boxes. Decent spot to park the car, nice stairway down to the beach/rock platform and also a lovely little beach cove entry/exit. I felt a bit vunerable exploring this site, but it was worth the effort and its on the todo list for another dive. The edge of the rock platform looked like the base of ancient ruins…particularly the stairway. All natural, but very evocative. Fishlife was fairly sparse, but some lovely vegetation.
